Antique Limoges Dresser Tray with Roses

Gorgeous 8 1/2" x 11" Limoges dresser tray painted in a very unusual and breathtaking choice of colors. The background is a very pale buttery yellow. Going towards the edges and up the sides they used a yummy pinky peach, a very delicate and feminine color. Now here is genius of the artist, they chose to use shades of violet to lavenders to paint full blown bunches of roses shown from the front and side highlighted with raised white enamel paint. They then threw in a delicate pinky peach colored rose in each group. The artist added light celery and pinky peach leaves which brings the first days of autumn to ones mind. A few buttery yellow and pinky peach four petal flowers finish the bunches. To all of this they then painted raised gold roses and rose hips on their leaved and thorny stems. Gold fluted edges and raised cross hatching done in gold go all around this piece. Marked Lewis, Strauss & Sons Limoges. 1890-1920. Very good condition.
